The Editor

Aja Edmond is the Editor-in-Chief, Creative Director and Co-founder of Everesse. She launched her career in banking before becoming a brand strategist and marketing executive in the luxury and lifestyle space.

With a more meaningful vision for her life in mind, she obtained an MBA from Stanford University and soon after launched a number of personal development and lifestyle ventures that enabled her to live and work on her own terms.

Aja is an aesthete, introvert, minimalist and Stoic and embraces a nomadic lifestyle. She currently resides on Portugal’s silver coast with her business and life partner (Nick) and Russian Blue kitten (Layla). She is fulfilling her life’s purpose: which is to help you define and pursue yours.

Partners

Aja’s various ventures have been featured in a number of publications and media outlets such as Fast Company, Huffington Post, Apartment Therapy, Squarespace, GQ, Pop Sugar, Thrive Global and more. Journalists may reach out for interview or feature requests.

We occasionally consider guest posts from professionals and influencers who have meaningful and relevant insights that would resonate with our audience. Feel free to contact us with your idea.

What are your values?

Simplicity — Get more out of life by simplifying decision-making with a laser focus on what matters most and elimination of the inconsequential.

Beauty — Pursue good design in everywhere we go, everything we do and everything we own. Good Design that is heart-centered is one of the most powerful ways to influence. Also seek the beautiful in all things.

Creativity — Have an open-minded and progressive spirit. Just like nature is always experimenting and evolving so should we. Be open to fun and laughter and new ways of thinking and being.

Strategy — Be thoughtful and rationale about how we navigate life. Seek wisdom from principles and philosophies (such as Stoicism) that help us minimize hardship while maximizing life's pleasures (within moderation). Do what we want to do so long as we do no harm.

We also draw inspiration and direction from the following philosophies:

Epicureanism — pursuit of simple pleasures

Minimalism — use of simple strategies to streamline life and be intentional

Stoicism — rational thoughts and control of destructive emotions

Aestheticism — the study and appreciation of beauty and design

Progressivism — imagination and development of ideas that improve society

Relativism — truth is contextual and subjective not absolute

What is your purpose?

Our purpose is to use the aforementioned values and philosophies to help like-minded individuals thrive by designing their life and living on their own terms.

There are many ways we can pursue our purpose. As of right now we're focused on inspiring, empowering and supporting thinkers, creators and entrepreneurs who have ideas, skills, and talents to contribute to the world.

What do you mean by freedom, fulfillment and fortune?

A "balanced" life contains all three. It gives you the ability to design your life and live on your own terms.

It gives you a sense of purpose and a feeling that you and your work matters (i.e. that you are living a life of consequence).

But it also helps you build wealth because a person who struggles financially for too long will not feel free or fulfilled.

Of course there will always be ups and downs and moments when things are out of balance. Our goal is to provide support when that inevitably happens.
